Updates taking forever

General Discussion

In order of importance, for quick Zwift updates:

  1. Internet download speed (and just as importantly, ensuring ports aren’t blocked/restricted).
  2. Storage speed; mechanical hard drives are basically terrible.
  3. How up to date your system is with other Windows updates.
  4. Prevalence of unnecessary anti-virus software and other bloatware.
  5. CPU performance.

On a decent internet connection, with an SSD and a well maintained Windows 10 system, the monthly Zwift updates should take no more than a couple of minutes at absolute maximum. Most patches being under a minute. Anything more means there’s a bottleneck somewhere else in your setup.
